In this land of the free there is al
ways clear room for generous rivalry
and clean competition but some of
the hardscrabble methods of com
petition now current rae below the
dignity of decency and without the
realm of common fairness They
would do credit to the buccaneers of
the high seas of not many generations
since There is way for justness and
squareness if generosity cannot be
attained

The rivalry between these towns
has reached the stae where the high
school of Holdrege has challenged the
high school of McCook for a debate
on the question of the location of the
agricultural school Oxford Standard

The public is fully justified in hold
ing to the opinion that most of the
public service corporations that pro
test strongest against regulation dont
know wherein their best interests lie
A conspicuous recent example of this
is the gas company which furnishes
to the city of Chicago Five years
ago tne city miposea a rate or aa
cents Immediately a
went up from the company The re
duced rate was confiscatory it meant
lessened returns on the investment
it presaged ruin all through the
gamut A five year experience with
85 cent gas instead of dollar gas has
proven unttrue every prediction and
claim of the company Under dollar
gas the company was paying C per
cent dividends The first year of 85
cent gas the dividend rate was cut
to 5 per cent The next year the G
per cent rate was restored and for
two years 7 per cent was paid Dur
ing the last year the compjiny earned
over 9 per cent and charged off over
a million the largest depreciation
icharge in the five year period Now
the city proposes to cut the gas rate
to 70 cents and what do you think the
company officials are doing Declar
ing that it is confiscatory and means
ruin and that it will be fought in the
courts to the very end Of course
there comes a time when reductions
must cease but experience a trial
is the ony witness whose testimony
is worth while Lincoln Daily News

Cream Separator
SAVES ITS COST EVERY YEAR
Occasionally the intending buyer of a cream separator who has but a
small amount of ready cash to invest is tempted to put his money in
to one of the so called cheap machines which are being largely ad
vertised
Why pay your hard earned money for a cheap trashy machine
when you can buy a reliable DE LAVAL upon such liberal terms
that
It will more than
earn its cost while
you are paying
for it
When you buy a DE LAVAL you have positive assurance that your
macinne will be good for at least twenty years of service during
which time it will save every possible dollar for you and earn its or
iginal cost over and over again
If you purchase the so called cheap separator you must pay cash
in advance and then take the chance of the machine becoming
worthless after a year or two of use to say nothing of the cream
it will waste while it does last all of which means that you have
virtually thrown away the money invested in the cheap separator and
wasted your time labor and product in the bargain
The DE LAVAL separator pays for itself It runs easier skims
cleaner and lasts longer than any other cream separator
Be sure to see and try a DE
LAVAL before you buy any
